Just my opinion, but I would have taken the $4,590 you have spent on mods and used it to move up to a 3rd generation style TL......

6k.


im not lying that i spent 6k ish... lol


gotta love trading wheels for better ones.

1200 on LE37... spend 200 more for GT-Vs....

straight trade for wheels that are worth 2.5k.. lol


OP.. why 3k on paintjob? im pretty sure if you shopped around more, there would have been places that do it for half the price but as good as the shop you went to..

i've got quotes for 1.5k and 1.2k for a full paintjob for factory or custom paint + more clear coat compared to factory.

3k is what they charge for exterior paint to women that go in there with no auto knowledge..

Congrats! Welcome to the forum! You seem to be just as excited as I was when I got my first TL (2000 TL NBP).
3k still seems like much for that paint job
I wouldn't choose the wheels for my TL, but then again, they are your wheels and your car I think the car would look better if you lowered it a little bit, and if the wheels were an inch or two smaller.
People are going to criticize, and some will be overly critical...accept the constructive criticism and keep it moving.

Dude...I was just thinking...that looks like South Florida...and then I saw your plate. Ha ha...

Well...I had a convo with a guy that had a car painted over (old GTO) and he spent 7 grand, I got a paintjob on my old accord for 400...that lasted a whopping 3 months before the clear faded off! Lol...3K for a great paintjob is normal considering how many hours of labor go into it!

If I ever considered doing that though, i would probably opt to change the color up a bit. Toyota has this olive green color that I'm in love with. Imagine a 3G TL in that!?!? Classy!
